February 7, 2006 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right El Centro, California El Centro is the largest city in Imperial County, California. It is located along Interstate 8 between San Diego and Yuma. Vi tog til El Centro i dag. Det er en by med omkring 40,000 indbyggere, hvoraf en stor del er af meksikansk afstamning. Byen voksede op omkring landbruget først i 1900-tallet, da der kom vand til ørkenen. Og jeg har vist før sagt, at den på besynderlig vis virker som om, den er frosset fast i 1950'erne. We went to El Centro today. It is a city of about 40.000 inhabitants, a great deal of which are of Mexican descent. The town developed around agriculture in the early 1900's, when water was brought to the desert. And I think I've mentioned before that it seems strangely frozen in time, stuck somewhere in the 1950's.
